This was a really novel (no pun intended) idea. I really liked the combat mechanics where you select the appropriate counter to the move they're preparing to do.

There seemed to be a couple of bugs in there in the academy. I killed the guardian in the academy tower and suddenly was on a bridge. Also when I went back to the necromancer academy there were no options to leave again.

What a cool format. Reminds me of Dungeon Master. Nice chunks of well written text interspersed with cool graphics. I love how much you have put into the fight mechanic. Congrats and thanks for a cool text-based Soulslike!
